[QUOTE="The_owl, post: 294064, member: 5672"] I'd like opinions on which (Mercury) kicker to add to an 1875 ProV. The boat is used (2016) and came without any "provisions" for adding the kicker. So what say you? My old boat had a 9.9 Pro Kicker and i used it a lot. It was a remote steer which i didn't like all that much - the Sea Star HYD steering was slow IMHO and i think i'd prefer to go with a tiller model this time. I'm 'kinda' mechanically inclined - so how hard are these things install? I think i'd like to look at buying one online and just installing myself (with a buddy's help). Anything i need to think about? 20" vs 25" - i used to backtroll a lot waay back in the day and i'd like to do more that with a tiller. Would the 20" shaft complete clear the boat or do i need to go 25"? Pro Kicker vs Four Stroke (Mercury/Tohatsu) - what's the difference? The 9.9 & 15 Pro Kicker look to be about the same price as the 15 & 20 hp Four Stroke. One thing i keep thinking about is that i would like the kicker to be able to charge the starter battery & such as the displays are wired to it (dual). Looks like the 15 hp has the ability to do that. Anything else i need to think about? Thanks for any input - The Owl [/QUOTE]
